Fitness tracker versus smart watch: what’s the difference?

Smart watches and fitness trackers have a lot of overlap. While most smart watches can act as fitness trackers and many fitness trackers have some smart watch functionality, they’re not quite the same thing.

Fitness trackers tend to have a more specific focus on health and fitness tracking and metrics, with features to support these goals. They often have better battery life than smart watches at the cost of lacking advanced smart watch functionality. These can be great choices for people with a focus on sport and fitness and who already have a watch or a smart watch they use at other times.

What can a fitness tracker do?

Fitness trackers have a range of functions! Exactly what a fitness tracker can do depends on the model, but generally, fitness trackers can:

• • Count steps
• • Track workouts like runs or swims
• • Tell you how many calories exercises burned
• • Monitor heart rate
• • Track sleep
• • Measure menstrual cycles
• • Receive messages and calls

Choosing a fitness tracker

With so many options it can be hard to choose, but there are some things to consider that may help:

• • Style: If it doesn’t look good, do you want to wear it?
• • Battery life: It needs to last long enough to be convenient.
• • Functionality: It should be able to do all the things you need it to do.
• • Cost: It shouldn’t break the bank.
